  Well I failed one interview because to calculate number of days in between I suggested substracting Unix timestamps and dividing the difference by 86400.

    Is there a problem with that or were the interviewers just being stubborn?
    • undebuggable 2y ago
      I understand the interviewer wanted to approach the problem as non decimal number of months in a year and variable number of days in a month. One day as the most granular entity. I didn't even wanted to argue over leap years and why the year 1900 wasn't one. It was consecutive meeting in a row and I was too tired for his shit.
